Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My Asko dryer is displaying error code P1. What does this mean?
A: Error code P1 signals a communication error between the user interface and the main control board. This could be due to loose wiring, a faulty user interface board, or a problem with the main control board itself. You can try unplugging the dryer for 60 seconds and plugging it back in. If comfortable, you can also check for loose wires at the back of the dryer. For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. However, for complex issues like this, it's best to contact a qualified technician.
Q: What does error code P3 indicate on my Asko dryer?
A: A P3 error code points to an issue with the delayed start function. This could be due to an incorrectly programmed time, a temporary glitch in the control board, or even a power surge. Try unplugging the dryer for a minute, then plug it back in and try setting the delayed start again. Test a regular drying cycle without delayed start to see if the dryer functions normally. If the problem persists, it's best to consult a professional.
Q: Why isn't my Asko dryer turning on?
A: Several issues can cause power problems with your Asko dryer. Check if the dryer is plugged in, ensure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped, and inspect the power cord for damage. For further diagnostics, contact a qualified technician.
Q: My Asko dryer isn't heating. What could be wrong?
A: A lack of heat could be due to a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, or issues with the thermal fuse. For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before attempting any repairs. It's crucial to have a qualified technician diagnose and resolve this issue.
Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your Asko dryer depends on several factors. Age is a key consideration. If your dryer is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (typically 8-12 years) and the repair is costly, replacement may be more sensible in the long run. The type of problem also matters. Some issues, like a faulty heating element, are relatively straightforward to fix. However, major component failures, especially in older models, can be expensive.
At Volt & Vector, we provide upfront, honest assessments. We’ll give you a clear understanding of the repair costs compared to the price of a new appliance, empowering you to make the best decision for your needs and budget. Our goal is to provide lasting solutions, not quick fixes.

Great people to deal with. Called and set up appointment right away. Mark came and fixed the issue right away. Very friendly and respectful. Will use again. Thanks guys.
Amazing service every time! I work for a multi-use property in lower Manhattan and we have used Volt & Vector for at least 20+ jobs and I can honestly say they do incredible and reliable work. Vlad is a pleasure to work with, he is honest and his pricing is fair. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience with Vlad! He came day of to help fix a laundry machine issue. He was on time, a clear communicator about the issue and fixed it with ease. He came back the following day (at no charge!) when I reached out with further information about how the machine was working to confirm everything was working properly/as intended. Excellent service and will absolutely be working with them again when we have future needs. Can’t recommend enough!
I split my time between Italy and NYC and manage several Airbnb units. Scheduling used to take too much energy around guest check-ins and turnovers. With Volt & Vector Appliance Repair, the routine became predictable: clear 2-hour windows (9–11am or 12–2pm), a text with ETA, written pricing (diagnostic credited), before/after photos, and a short summary after each visit. Over ~30 repairs in two years: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, a refrigerator seal. They’ve kept me informed and moved quickly on parts (usually 24–48 hours when ordered). Access and lockboxes are handled without drama, work areas are left clean, and my reviews stayed steady. Hosting from abroad is easier when maintenance is this consistent. Strong recommend for Brooklyn and Manhattan hosts.
